Rostov-on-Don Airport was built in 1925. Its construction was due to quite objective reasons, since the south of Russia has always been a busy trading place. A huge amount of goods is brought to the “port of five seas” (the so-called Rostov-on-Don) every year, and merchants from all over the country come to the fairs that are regularly held here.

Reconstruction Stages
Before the end of World War II, the terminal was reconstructed for a long time, since there is no stone left from it, as they say.
Only in 1977, experienced architects gave the Rostov terminal a look that turned it into one of the main attractions of the city.
However, time does not stand still, and the existing architectural appearance of the airport is somewhat outdated - it does not correspond to the spirit of the modern era. Given this, the administration of the Rostov airport decided to modernize the transport infrastructure. The territory of the departure lounge for foreign destinations was increased, and in 2007 the reconstruction of the arrival hall of international traffic was completed. It was also replaced with modern equipment for check-in for flights, baggage inspection, document verification, and the waiting room was equipped with TVs, a bar and buffets.
As a result of the above transformations, Rostov-on-Don Airport has become a modern competitive transportation platform, which now serves about 800 passengers per hour.
On the territory of the object with an area of more than 17,000 square meters there are offices of representative offices of air carriers, ticket offices, halls for delegations and official meetings, kiosks with souvenir and printed materials, ATMs and currency exchange points. Nearby is a hotel for the resettlement of guests of the city, which provides a room for mother and child.
How to get there?
The airport building has a very convenient location. From the city center to the aforementioned object of transport infrastructure, a trolleybus No. 9 runs, a minibus No. 7a, 85.95.
